These long fusilli resemble short fusilli in their corkscrew-like appearance, but are long strands with abuco, or ";;;;hole";;;;, straight through the middle. Their humble ingredients of flour and water have a rich history in the Campania region: ancient bread ovens were uncovered at Vesuvius and water from the Lattari mountains powered mills as early as the 11th century. Pastaio di Gragnano crafts all of their pasta shapes by guiding a sheet of dough through a bronze mold and air-drying each shape for 24-48 hours. The result is pasta of the perfect consistency to stick to sauce.
